Gonna be a messy situation whether the allegations are substantiated or not.

As someone who has pretty fair experience investigating explosive allegations, I can say with confidence that any speculation is just that; until results are released only the investigative team will have the best grasp of the matter.

Actually shouldn’t be too hard.  First question is whether that type of exam was standard of care for 18-22 year old athletes back then.  I have no clue as I avoided doctors until my 50s.  Not my favorite part of the exam.

I sure hope this doesn't uncover systemic and covered up abuses along the lines of Larry Nassar/MSU/USA Gymnastics, Jerry Sandusky/Penn State, the Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, etc. … but it has to be investigated, regardless of the amount of time that has passed.

I really hope it doesn't go there, but you have to investigate.

I routinely have a PSA under .5 on my yearly physical and I still get the finger.

I doubt that it will. So much time has passed that if their were alot of men who felt this way they would have said something by now I would guess. If this was girls sadly I could see it getting to that level easily.

Well embedded moles in Bloomington have sent word that Illinois transfer Luke Goode and freshman Bryson Tucker have both stood out for Indiana. Both will be in the guts of the Hoosiers' rotation.

That’s encouraging— 2 guys we want to see in the rotation

8 man rotation seems reasonable but I can’t believe Woodson won’t try to play 10, at least at the beginning

I would hope he will play 12 at the beginning; it would be coaching malpractice not to, except of course against top 25 opponents

Then only play our best 8, I agree with that

I was at the Bowls For Kids Sake fundraiser for Big Brothers/Big Sisters this afternoon, and Malik was there (I assume as part of Hoosiers for Good or Hoosiers Connect).  He was very gracious with the fundraiser participants, taking pictures with everyone who asked, taking time to talk, and even bowling with a few teams.  Just a very likable young man and great ambassador for the university and basketball program.

Most importantly though, he looked to be in GREAT shape, arms looked more defined/muscular and I'd say his body fat is down too.  I even caught him doing some calf exercises on the step down to the bowling lanes.

No back up post players. You’d have to stagger Ballo and Reneau perfectly to make it work. Also no backup pg besides Galloway. Again you would have to stagger them perfectly to make it work. 
 

The truth is if Tucker and Goode are getting significant minutes someone expecting to significant mins will be left out. With that said, I think that if Tucker and Goode are playing better than expected, it’s still a net positive for Indiana.

15 mins a game is my guess. Cupps will get minutes too

Malik is penciled in to be our backup center. 

Great for the offensive end; not so great on the defensive end.
